Cycle giant Giant is showing off its latest performance bike designed for triathletes at the Taipei Cycle Exhibition.
Also at the 29th bike show in Taiwan, hybrid bikes are starting to make waves.
STORY-LINE:
As more and more people are interested in green energy and healthy lifestyles, many bicycle makers are coming up with more innovative and high-performance bikes to attract new riders.
Taiwan's Giant is the world's largest bike maker. This year at its home show - the 29th Taipei Cycle exhibition - Giant is showcasing its flagship product: a high performance bike designed to help riders achieve speed and endurance in triathlon events.
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel analysis, NixonHuang, an engineer at Giant, says its Trinity Advanced Pro model is Giant's fastest bike on the market.
"This is the brand new Giant Trinity. It's a design dedicated triathlon bike. We have a very wide range adjustment for the cockpit, for the tri's knees (triathlon athletes' knees). The cool thing about it has the integrated hydration system and the food box. So you can see at the front, in front of the stand, it has a water bottle, and also the down tube it has a dedicated water bottle. That's the key needs for the tri-athletes during racing."
Electric hybrid bikes are also gaining popularity.
Equipped with battery-powered pedals, the hybrid bike has a torque sensor, measuring the pushing force on pedals and giving the power in proportion to the pedalling.
Simon Hsu of Merida, one of leading Taiwan bike makers, says the assisted pedal is useful for those who may need assistance in long-distance or uphill cycling.
"Recently the need for a mountain bicycle is that it has to be able to be used for down hill cycling in the woods, therefore it requires electrical energy to assist the rider when riding up the hill. It (electrical energy pack) also can be used for long distance riding. I think full suspension mountain bikes will gradually be equipped with electrical energy packs in the next two years. And this will become more and more popular. It has already become a trend in many European countries."
According to Taiwan Bicycle Association, last year Taiwan exported 80,000 hybrid bikes to Europe and America.
Hsu admits a steep price tag may have deterred some consumers but prices are dropping.
Merida's hybrid bike costs 120,000 New Taiwan Dollars (NTD) (approx. 3,600 USD) compared to 80,000 NTD (approx. 2,400 USD) for the price of the push bike of the same model.
But Hsu hopes that the price will drop once the battery and production costs are cheaper.
Need to put groceries on your bike or deliver goods around the city? Tern believes you don't need a car for that.
Tern's CargoNode bike can carry up to 22kg on each side and the main frame folds so it would fit in an elevator.
Wang Ai-ting, a manager at Tern, says this is an ultimate solution for city dwellers who need to lug around heavy items on their daily commutes or parents who need to transport not only themselves but their children and their belongings.
"Lots of our customers actually they are really interested about working with this bike with their distributing companies in their countries. That means no scooters anymore. No cars anymore. That means easy parking because actually maybe no parking. You can just bring the bike and lots of goods with you. You can enter into the building, the company, the place you need to deliver. This is the goal that we want to design a cargo bike that is suitable for the city people's life," says Wang.
Priced at 1,800 USD, Wang says Cargo Node is already on sale in Europe and America.

The Boeing 747-400 is a major development and the best-selling model of the Boeing 747 family of jet airliners. While retaining the four-engine wide-body layout of its predecessors, the 747-400 embodies numerous technological and structural changes to produce a more efficient airframe. Its most distinguishing features versus preceding 747 models are 6-foot (1.8 m) winglets mounted on 6-foot (1.8 m) wing tip extensions, which are found on all 747-400s except for Japanese domestic market versions.
The 747-400 is equipped with a two-crew glass cockpit, which dispenses with the need for a flight engineer, along with more fuel-efficient engines, an optional fuel tank in the horizontal stabilizer, and revised fuselage/wing fairings. The aircraft also features an all-new interior with upgraded in-flight entertainment architecture. As on the 747-300, passenger variants include a stretched upper deck as standard. The model has a maximum capacity of 660 passengers with the 747-400D variant, and can fly non-stop for up to 7,670 nautical miles (14,200 km) with maximum payload, depending on model.
Northwest Airlines first placed the 747-400 in commercial service in February 9, 1989. The 747-400 was produced in passenger (−400), freighter (−400F), combi (−400M), domestic (−400D), extended range passenger (−400ER) and extended range freighter (−400ERF) versions. The last 747−400, a -400ERF, was delivered in 2009. The 747-400 is the second-most recent version of the Boeing 747 family, having been superseded by the improved Boeing 747-8.
Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's exhaust so that it is directed forward, rather than backwards. Reverse thrust acts against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing distances. Such devices affect the aircraft significantly and are considered important for safe operations by airlines. There have been accidents involving thrust reversal systems.
Reverse thrust is also available on many propeller-driven aircraft through reversing the controllable-pitch propellers to a negative angle. The equivalent concept for a ship is called astern propulsion.
EVA Airways Corporation (pronounced "E-V-A Airways") is a Taiwanese international airline based at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport near Taipei, Taiwan, operating passenger and dedicated cargo services to over 40 international destinations in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. EVA Air is largely privately owned and flies a fully international route network. It is the second largest Taiwanese airline. EVA Air is headquartered in Luzhu, TaoyuanCity, Taiwan.
Since its founding in 1989 as an affiliate of shipping conglomerate Evergreen Group, EVA Air has expanded to include air cargo, airline catering, ground handling, and aviation engineering services. Its cargo arm, EVA Air Cargo, links with the Evergreen worldwide shipping network on sea and land. Its domestic and regional subsidiary, UNI Air, operates a medium and short-haul network to destinations in Taiwan, Macau and China with its main hub in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. As ofJanuary 2015, EVA Air is the 3rd safest airline in the world, with no hull losses, accidents, or fatalities since its establishment.
EVA Air operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, with Airbus A330, Boeing 747, Airbus A321, and Boeing 777 airliners primarily used on passenger routes, along with Boeing 747 freighters used on cargo routes. The airline was one of the first carriers to introduce the Premium Economy class (called Elite class in EVA Air), which it debuted in 1991. Elite class is onboard Boeing 777 and selected Boeing 747 aircraft.

Taipei

Taipei (/ˌtaɪˈpeɪ/, literally means "North of Tai(wan)"), officially known as Taipei City (Chinese:臺北市 or 台北市; pinyin:Táiběi Shì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī:Tâi-pak Chhī), is the capital city and a special municipality of Taiwan. Sitting at the northern tip of Taiwan, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City. It is about 25km (16mi) southwest of the northern port city Keelung. The city is mostly located on the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed bounded by the two relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.

The city proper is home to an estimated population of 2,693,672 in 2009, forming the core part of the Taipei–Keelung metropolitan area which includes the nearby cities of New Taipei and Keelung with a population of 6,900,273, the 40th most-populous urban area in the world. The name "Taipei" can refer either to the whole metropolitan area or the city proper.

The term is deliberately ambiguous. To the PRC "Chinese Taipei" is ambiguous about the political status or sovereignty of the ROC/Taiwan; to the ROC it is a more inclusive term than just "Taiwan" (which is to the ROC just one part of China, which it, similarly to the PRC, claims to be the rightful government of the nation in its entirety, and to the PRC the use of "Taiwan" as a national name is associated with independence of the area from the PRC) and "Taiwan China" might be construed as a subordinate area to the PRC.

Boeing 747

The Boeing 747 is a wide-body commercial jet airliner and cargo aircraft, often referred to by its original nickname, Jumbo Jet, or Queen of the Skies. Its distinctive "hump" upper deck along the forward part of the aircraft makes it among the world's most recognizable aircraft, and it was the first wide-body produced. Manufactured by Boeing's Commercial Airplane unit in the United States, the original version of the 747 had two and a half times greater capacity than the Boeing 707, one of the common large commercial aircraft of the 1960s. First flown commercially in 1970, the 747 held the passenger capacity record for 37 years.

The four-engine 747 uses a double deck configuration for part of its length. It is available in passenger, freighter and other versions. Boeing designed the 747's hump-like upper deck to serve as a first class lounge or extra seating, and to allow the aircraft to be easily converted to a cargo carrier by removing seats and installing a front cargo door. Boeing did so because the company expected supersonic airliners (development of which was announced in the early 1960s) to render the 747 and other subsonic airliners obsolete, while the demand for subsonic cargo aircraft would be robust well into the future. The 747 was expected to become obsolete after 400 were sold, but it exceeded critics' expectations with production passing the 1,000 mark in 1993. By January 2016, 1,520 aircraft had been built, with 19 of the 747-8 variants remaining on order.

The Boeing 747-400 is a major development and the best-selling model of the Boeing 747 family of jet airliners. While retaining the four-engine wide-body layout of its predecessors, the 747-400 embodies numerous technological and structural changes to produce a more efficient airframe. Its most distinguishing features versus preceding 747 models are 6-foot (1.8 m) winglets mounted on 6-foot (1.8 m) wing tip extensions, which are found on all 747-400s except for Japanese domestic market versions.
The 747-400 is equipped with a two-crew glass cockpit, which dispenses with the need for a flight engineer, along with more fuel-efficient engines, an optional fuel tank in the horizontal stabilizer, and revised fuselage/wing fairings. The aircraft also features an all-new interior with upgraded in-flight entertainment architecture. As on the 747-300, passenger variants include a stretched upper deck as standard. The model has a maximum capacity of 660 passengers with the 747-400D variant, and can fly non-stop for up to 7,670 nautical miles (14,200 km) with maximum payload, depending on model.
Northwest Airlines first placed the 747-400 in commercial service in February 9, 1989. The 747-400 was produced in passenger (−400), freighter (−400F), combi (−400M), domestic (−400D), extended range passenger (−400ER) and extended range freighter (−400ERF) versions. The last 747−400, a -400ERF, was delivered in 2009. The 747-400 is the second-most recent version of the Boeing 747 family, having been superseded by the improved Boeing 747-8.
Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's exhaust so that it is directed forward, rather than backwards. Reverse thrust acts against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing distances. Such devices affect the aircraft significantly and are considered important for safe operations by airlines. There have been accidents involving thrust reversal systems.
Reverse thrust is also available on many propeller-driven aircraft through reversing the controllable-pitch propellers to a negative angle. The equivalent concept for a ship is called astern propulsion.
EVA Airways Corporation (pronounced "E-V-A Airways") is a Taiwanese international airline based at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport near Taipei, Taiwan, operating passenger and dedicated cargo services to over 40 international destinations in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. EVA Air is largely privately owned and flies a fully international route network. It is the second largest Taiwanese airline. EVA Air is headquartered in Luzhu, TaoyuanCity, Taiwan.
Since its founding in 1989 as an affiliate of shipping conglomerate Evergreen Group, EVA Air has expanded to include air cargo, airline catering, ground handling, and aviation engineering services. Its cargo arm, EVA Air Cargo, links with the Evergreen worldwide shipping network on sea and land. Its domestic and regional subsidiary, UNI Air, operates a medium and short-haul network to destinations in Taiwan, Macau and China with its main hub in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. As ofJanuary 2015, EVA Air is the 3rd safest airline in the world, with no hull losses, accidents, or fatalities since its establishment.
EVA Air operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, with Airbus A330, Boeing 747, Airbus A321, and Boeing 777 airliners primarily used on passenger routes, along with Boeing 747 freighters used on cargo routes. The airline was one of the first carriers to introduce the Premium Economy class (called Elite class in EVA Air), which it debuted in 1991. Elite class is onboard Boeing 777 and selected Boeing 747 aircraft.

Best Things to do in Taipei - Overnight City Guide

I have always loved travelling.
I was lucky enough that from a young age, my parents took us all over the place, instilling in us a sense of larger spaces and broadened horizons. As I grew up, I became more independent in my travels and tried to figure out ways to do it more. From learning Spanish in Salamanca to purposefully getting 6 month summer jobs in places I wanted to explore further.
I became accustomed to getting lost and just wondering the streets, figuring out where would be the next good meal or when I would stumble onto some secret only locals whispered about. Getting lost was second nature back then. The only resources we had were over-read guide books that by the time you reached their recommendations, the waiters would push their best sellers down your throats.
So we h...

I have always loved travelling.
I was lucky enough that from a young age, my parents took us all over the place, instilling in us a sense of larger spaces and broadened horizons. As I grew up, I became more independent in my travels and tried to figure out ways to do it more. From learning Spanish in Salamanca to purposefully getting 6 month summer jobs in places I wanted to explore further.
I became accustomed to getting lost and just wondering the streets, figuring out where would be the next good meal or when I would stumble onto some secret only locals whispered about. Getting lost was second nature back then. The only resources we had were over-read guide books that by the time you reached their recommendations, the waiters would push their best sellers down your throats.
So we had to resort to friend recommendations, what blog resources were up on the internet, guide books, conversations with strangers and your hotel concierge. Nowadays in our hyper connected world, everyone is an expert and there are so many sites that claim that this restaurants, trumps this bar, which is passé and now is considered touristy by pretty much everyone. Honestly, for me, good is good, so that’s what I base myself on.
For every family or friend trip we would take, I became the defacto research guide. Skimming through websites in English and in the language of destination, guide books, personal blogs, Instagram hashtags, geotags and anything else social media would allow me to delve into. Finally, being able to create a snap shot of the city, its districts and where to eat, sleep, drink, party or learn about the culture.
This is what Overnight is about.
For all of the information of the video, a map of the city and our Overnight guide.

I have always loved travelling.
I was lucky enough that from a young age, my parents took us all over the place, instilling in us a sense of larger spaces and broadened horizons. As I grew up, I became more independent in my travels and tried to figure out ways to do it more. From learning Spanish in Salamanca to purposefully getting 6 month summer jobs in places I wanted to explore further.
I became accustomed to getting lost and just wondering the streets, figuring out where would be the next good meal or when I would stumble onto some secret only locals whispered about. Getting lost was second nature back then. The only resources we had were over-read guide books that by the time you reached their recommendations, the waiters would push their best sellers down your throats.
So we had to resort to friend recommendations, what blog resources were up on the internet, guide books, conversations with strangers and your hotel concierge. Nowadays in our hyper connected world, everyone is an expert and there are so many sites that claim that this restaurants, trumps this bar, which is passé and now is considered touristy by pretty much everyone. Honestly, for me, good is good, so that’s what I base myself on.
For every family or friend trip we would take, I became the defacto research guide. Skimming through websites in English and in the language of destination, guide books, personal blogs, Instagram hashtags, geotags and anything else social media would allow me to delve into. Finally, being able to create a snap shot of the city, its districts and where to eat, sleep, drink, party or learn about the culture.
This is what Overnight is about.
For all of the information of the video, a map of the city and our Overnight guide.

https://www.expedia.com/Taipei.d180030.Destination-Travel-Guides
Taipei is the glittering capital of Taiwan, and one of the hottest travel destinations in all of Asia. When you visit this thriving city, you’ll find collections of stunning futuristic buildings interspersed with ancient Chinese temples and traditions.
One of these temples, Longshan, is located in Wanhua, the city’s oldest neighborhood. This is where you come to find good fortune, good health, and spiritual advice of all sorts. Once you’ve attained the guidance and wisdom you may not have realized you sought, head to 228 Peace Park, where you will find the memorial to the 1949 uprisings that eventually led to Taiwan’s independence.
Don’t worry about getting around the city; the Taipei Rapid Transit System, or MRT, will take you just about anywhere you need to go. Hop on it to pay a visit to the National Palace Museum, where you’ll find a giant collection of Chinese art and artifacts. There’s over half a million pieces related to ancient Chinese royalty here, and you can spend days exploring them all.
To plan out your next move, make your way to Taipei 101. This is one of the world’s tallest buildings, and you can soar to the top for a breathtaking view of the city and pick out the next place you’ll visit. Do you see Elephant Mountain? It’s not far from the downtown area, and it’s a short climb to the top for another look at Taipei. Keep up with the nature theme and make your stop the Taipei Zoo, where you’ll meet the largest menagerie of animals in Asia.
Cap off a day of Taipei sightseeing and adventure at Shilin Night Market, where you can join the locals in finding that next great meal or landing a spectacular bargain.

The Boeing 747-400 is a major development and the best-selling model of the Boeing 747 family of jet airliners. While retaining the four-engine wide-body layout of its predecessors, the 747-400 embodies numerous technological and structural changes to produce a more efficient airframe. Its most distinguishing features versus preceding 747 models are 6-foot (1.8 m) winglets mounted on 6-foot (1.8 m) wing tip extensions, which are found on all 747-400s except for Japanese domestic market versions.
The 747-400 is equipped with a two-crew glass cockpit, which dispenses with the need for a flight engineer, along with more fuel-efficient engines, an optional fuel tank in the horizontal stabilizer, and revised fuselage/wing fairings. The aircraft also features an all-new interior with upgraded in...

Cycle giant Giant is showing off its latest performance bike designed for triathletes at the Taipei Cycle Exhibition.
Also at the 29th bike show in Taiwan, hybrid bikes are starting to make waves.
STORY-LINE:
As more and more people are interested in green energy and healthy lifestyles, many bicycle makers are coming up with more innovative and high-performance bikes to attract new riders.
Taiwan's Giant is the world's largest bike maker. This year at its home show - the 29th Taipei Cycle exhibition - Giant is showcasing its flagship product: a high performance bike designed to help riders achieve speed and endurance in triathlon events.
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel analysis, NixonHuang, an engineer at Giant, says its Trinity Advanced Pro model is Giant's fastest bike on the market.
"This is the brand new Giant Trinity. It's a design dedicated triathlon bike. We have a very wide range adjustment for the cockpit, for the tri's knees (triathlon athletes' knees). The cool thing about it has the integrated hydration system and the food box. So you can see at the front, in front of the stand, it has a water bottle, and also the down tube it has a dedicated water bottle. That's the key needs for the tri-athletes during racing."
Electric hybrid bikes are also gaining popularity.
Equipped with battery-powered pedals, the hybrid bike has a torque sensor, measuring the pushing force on pedals and giving the power in proportion to the pedalling.
Simon Hsu of Merida, one of leading Taiwan bike makers, says the assisted pedal is useful for those who may need assistance in long-distance or uphill cycling.
"Recently the need for a mountain bicycle is that it has to be able to be used for down hill cycling in the woods, therefore it requires electrical energy to assist the rider when riding up the hill. It (electrical energy pack) also can be used for long distance riding. I think full suspension mountain bikes will gradually be equipped with electrical energy packs in the next two years. And this will become more and more popular. It has already become a trend in many European countries."
According to Taiwan Bicycle Association, last year Taiwan exported 80,000 hybrid bikes to Europe and America.
Hsu admits a steep price tag may have deterred some consumers but prices are dropping.
Merida's hybrid bike costs 120,000 New Taiwan Dollars (NTD) (approx. 3,600 USD) compared to 80,000 NTD (approx. 2,400 USD) for the price of the push bike of the same model.
But Hsu hopes that the price will drop once the battery and production costs are cheaper.
Need to put groceries on your bike or deliver goods around the city? Tern believes you don't need a car for that.
Tern's CargoNode bike can carry up to 22kg on each side and the main frame folds so it would fit in an elevator.
Wang Ai-ting, a manager at Tern, says this is an ultimate solution for city dwellers who need to lug around heavy items on their daily commutes or parents who need to transport not only themselves but their children and their belongings.
"Lots of our customers actually they are really interested about working with this bike with their distributing companies in their countries. That means no scooters anymore. No cars anymore. That means easy parking because actually maybe no parking. You can just bring the bike and lots of goods with you. You can enter into the building, the company, the place you need to deliver. This is the goal that we want to design a cargo bike that is suitable for the city people's life," says Wang.
Priced at 1,800 USD, Wang says Cargo Node is already on sale in Europe and America.

The Boeing 747-400 is a major development and the best-selling model of the Boeing 747 family of jet airliners.

Its most distinguishing features versus preceding 747 models are 6-foot (1.8 m) winglets mounted on 6-foot (1.8 m) wing tip extensions, which are found on all 747-400s except for Japanese domestic market versions.
The 747-400 is equipped with a two-crew glass cockpit, which dispenses with the need for a flight engineer, along with more fuel-efficient engines, an optional fuel tank in the horizontal stabilizer, and revised fuselage/wing fairings. The aircraft also features an all-new interior with upgraded in-flight entertainment architecture. As on the 747-300, passenger variants include a stretched upper deck as standard. The model has a maximum capacity of 660 passengers with the 747-400D variant, and can fly non-stop for up to 7,670 nautical miles (14,200 km) with maximum payload, depending on model.
Northwest Airlines first placed the 747-400 in commercial service in February 9, 1989. The 747-400 was produced in passenger (−400), freighter (−400F), combi (−400M), domestic (−400D), extended range passenger (−400ER) and extended range freighter (−400ERF) versions. The last 747−400, a -400ERF, was delivered in 2009. The 747-400 is the second-most recent version of the Boeing 747 family, having been superseded by the improved Boeing 747-8.
Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's exhaust so that it is directed forward, rather than backwards. Reverse thrust acts against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing distances. Such devices affect the aircraft significantly and are considered important for safe operations by airlines. There have been accidents involving thrust reversal systems.
Reverse thrust is also available on many propeller-driven aircraft through reversing the controllable-pitch propellers to a negative angle. The equivalent concept for a ship is called astern propulsion.
EVA Airways Corporation (pronounced "E-V-A Airways") is a Taiwanese international airline based at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport near Taipei, Taiwan, operating passenger and dedicated cargo services to over 40 international destinations in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. EVA Air is largely privately owned and flies a fully international route network. It is the second largest Taiwanese airline. EVA Air is headquartered in Luzhu, TaoyuanCity, Taiwan.
Since its founding in 1989 as an affiliate of shipping conglomerate Evergreen Group, EVA Air has expanded to include air cargo, airline catering, ground handling, and aviation engineering services. Its cargo arm, EVA Air Cargo, links with the Evergreen worldwide shipping network on sea and land. Its domestic and regional subsidiary, UNI Air, operates a medium and short-haul network to destinations in Taiwan, Macau and China with its main hub in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. As ofJanuary 2015, EVA Air is the 3rd safest airline in the world, with no hull losses, accidents, or fatalities since its establishment.
EVA Air operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, with Airbus A330, Boeing 747, Airbus A321, and Boeing 777 airliners primarily used on passenger routes, along with Boeing 747 freighters used on cargo routes. The airline was one of the first carriers to introduce the Premium Economy class (called Elite class in EVA Air), which it debuted in 1991. Elite class is onboard Boeing 777 and selected Boeing 747 aircraft.

The Boeing 747-400 is a major development and the best-selling model of the Boeing 747 family of jet airliners. While retaining the four-engine wide-body layout of its predecessors, the 747-400 embodies numerous technological and structural changes to produce a more efficient airframe. Its most distinguishing features versus preceding 747 models are 6-foot (1.8 m) winglets mounted on 6-foot (1.8 m) wing tip extensions, which are found on all 747-400s except for Japanese domestic market versions.
The 747-400 is equipped with a two-crew glass cockpit, which dispenses with the need for a flight engineer, along with more fuel-efficient engines, an optional fuel tank in the horizontal stabilizer, and revised fuselage/wing fairings. The aircraft also features an all-new interior with upgraded in-flight entertainment architecture. As on the 747-300, passenger variants include a stretched upper deck as standard. The model has a maximum capacity of 660 passengers with the 747-400D variant, and can fly non-stop for up to 7,670 nautical miles (14,200 km) with maximum payload, depending on model.
Northwest Airlines first placed the 747-400 in commercial service in February 9, 1989. The 747-400 was produced in passenger (−400), freighter (−400F), combi (−400M), domestic (−400D), extended range passenger (−400ER) and extended range freighter (−400ERF) versions. The last 747−400, a -400ERF, was delivered in 2009. The 747-400 is the second-most recent version of the Boeing 747 family, having been superseded by the improved Boeing 747-8.
Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's exhaust so that it is directed forward, rather than backwards. Reverse thrust acts against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing distances. Such devices affect the aircraft significantly and are considered important for safe operations by airlines. There have been accidents involving thrust reversal systems.

Taipei cycle show pushing for powered pedal power

(2 Mar 2016) LEAD IN:
Cycle giant Giant is showing off its latest performance bike designed for triathletes at the Taipei Cycle Exhibition.
Also at the 29th bike show in Taiwan, hybrid bikes are starting to make waves.
STORY-LINE:
As more and more people are interested in green energy and healthy lifestyles, many bicycle makers are coming up with more innovative and high-performance bikes to attract new riders.
Taiwan's Giant is the world's largest bike maker. This year at its home show - the 29th Taipei Cycle exhibition - Giant is showcasing its flagship product: a high performance bike designed to help riders achieve speed and endurance in triathlon events.
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel analysis, NixonHuang, an engineer at Giant, says its Trinity Advanced Pro model is Giant's fastest bike on the market.
"This is the brand new Giant Trinity. It's a design dedicated triathlon bike. We have a very wide range adjustment for the cockpit, for the tri's knees (triathlon athletes' knees). The cool thing about it has the integrated hydration system and the food box. So you can see at the front, in front of the stand, it has a water bottle, and also the down tube it has a dedicated water bottle. That's the key needs for the tri-athletes during racing."
Electric hybrid bikes are also gaining popularity.
Equipped with battery-powered pedals, the hybrid bike has a torque sensor, measuring the pushing force on pedals and giving the power in proportion to the pedalling.
Simon Hsu of Merida, one of leading Taiwan bike makers, says the assisted pedal is useful for those who may need assistance in long-distance or uphill cycling.
"Recently the need for a mountain bicycle is that it has to be able to be used for down hill cycling in the woods, therefore it requires electrical energy to assist the rider when riding up the hill. It (electrical energy pack) also can be used for long distance riding. I think full suspension mountain bikes will gradually be equipped with electrical energy packs in the next two years. And this will become more and more popular. It has already become a trend in many European countries."
According to Taiwan Bicycle Association, last year Taiwan exported 80,000 hybrid bikes to Europe and America.
Hsu admits a steep price tag may have deterred some consumers but prices are dropping.
Merida's hybrid bike costs 120,000 New Taiwan Dollars (NTD) (approx. 3,600 USD) compared to 80,000 NTD (approx. 2,400 USD) for the price of the push bike of the same model.
But Hsu hopes that the price will drop once the battery and production costs are cheaper.
Need to put groceries on your bike or deliver goods around the city? Tern believes you don't need a car for that.
Tern's CargoNode bike can carry up to 22kg on each side and the main frame folds so it would fit in an elevator.
Wang Ai-ting, a manager at Tern, says this is an ultimate solution for city dwellers who need to lug around heavy items on their daily commutes or parents who need to transport not only themselves but their children and their belongings.
"Lots of our customers actually they are really interested about working with this bike with their distributing companies in their countries. That means no scooters anymore. No cars anymore. That means easy parking because actually maybe no parking. You can just bring the bike and lots of goods with you. You can enter into the building, the company, the place you need to deliver. This is the goal that we want to design a cargo bike that is suitable for the city people's life," says Wang.
Priced at 1,800 USD, Wang says Cargo Node is already on sale in Europe and America.

Power goes out on Cathay Pacific flight from Taipei to Hong Kong

A Cathay Pacific flight traveling between Taipei and Hong Kong experienced two power outages. The airline says the problem was with a faulty generator, not the engines, and that passengers were never at risk. A member of Cathay Pacific's cabin crew broke the news on Facebook.The flight attendant said on Sunday, Flight CX511 originating in Fukuoka, Japan, and traveling to Taipei and Hong Kong suddenly experienced two power outages, the longest lasting for 20 seconds. After learning that the engines had stopped, she became deeply worried.Voice of Flight InstructorThere's an ideal time for an aircraft to drift so it can travel farther. During this period we restart the generator; otherwise, the accumulator would run out of electricity and we would need to make an emergency landing. We would p

Best Things to do in Taipei - Overnight City Guide

I have always loved travelling.
I was lucky enough that from a young age, my parents took us all over the place, instilling in us a sense of larger spaces and broadened horizons. As I grew up, I became more independent in my travels and tried to figure out ways to do it more. From learning Spanish in Salamanca to purposefully getting 6 month summer jobs in places I wanted to explore further.
I became accustomed to getting lost and just wondering the streets, figuring out where would be the next good meal or when I would stumble onto some secret only locals whispered about. Getting lost was second nature back then. The only resources we had were over-read guide books that by the time you reached their recommendations, the waiters would push their best sellers down your throats.
So we had to resort to friend recommendations, what blog resources were up on the internet, guide books, conversations with strangers and your hotel concierge. Nowadays in our hyper connected world, everyone is an expert and there are so many sites that claim that this restaurants, trumps this bar, which is passé and now is considered touristy by pretty much everyone. Honestly, for me, good is good, so that’s what I base myself on.
For every family or friend trip we would take, I became the defacto research guide. Skimming through websites in English and in the language of destination, guide books, personal blogs, Instagram hashtags, geotags and anything else social media would allow me to delve into. Finally, being able to create a snap shot of the city, its districts and where to eat, sleep, drink, party or learn about the culture.
This is what Overnight is about.
For all of the information of the video, a map of the city and our Overnight guide.

Taipei is the glittering capital of Taiwan, and one of the hottest travel destinations in all of Asia. When you visit this thriving city, you’ll find collections of stunning futuristic buildings interspersed with ancient Chinese temples and traditions.
One of these temples, Longshan, is located in Wanhua, the city’s oldest neighborhood. This is where you come to find good fortune, good health, and spiritual advice of all sorts. Once you’ve attained the guidance and wisdom you may not have realized you sought, head to 228 Peace Park, where you will find the memorial to the 1949 uprisings that eventually led to Taiwan’s independence.
Don’t worry about getting around the city; the Taipei Rapid Transit System, or MRT, will take you just about anywhere you need to go. Hop on it to pay a visit to the National Palace Museum, where you’ll find a giant collection of Chinese art and artifacts. There’s over half a million pieces related to ancient Chinese royalty here, and you can spend days exploring them all.
To plan out your next move, make your way to Taipei 101. This is one of the world’s tallest buildings, and you can soar to the top for a breathtaking view of the city and pick out the next place you’ll visit. Do you see Elephant Mountain? It’s not far from the downtown area, and it’s a short climb to the top for another look at Taipei. Keep up with the nature theme and make your stop the Taipei Zoo, where you’ll meet the largest menagerie of animals in Asia.
Cap off a day of Taipei sightseeing and adventure at Shilin Night Market, where you can join the locals in finding that next great meal or landing a spectacular bargain.

Cycle giant Giant is showing off its latest performance bike designed for triathletes at the Taipei Cycle Exhibition.
Also at the 29th bike show in Taiwan, hybrid bikes are starting to make waves.
STORY-LINE:
As more and more people are interested in green energy and healthy lifestyles, many bicycle makers are coming up with more innovative and high-performance bikes to attract new riders.
Taiwan's Giant is the world's largest bike maker. This year at its home show - the 29th Taipei Cycle exhibition - Giant is showcasing its flagship product: a high performance bike designed to help riders achieve speed and endurance in triathlon events.
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel analysis, NixonHuang, an engineer at Giant, says its Trinity Advanced Pro model is Giant's fastest bike on the market.
"This is the brand new Giant Trinity. It's a design dedicated triathlon bike. We have a very wide range adjustment for the cockpit, for the tri's knees (triathlon athletes' knees). The cool thing about it has the integrated hydration system and the food box. So you can see at the front, in front of the stand, it has a water bottle, and also the down tube it has a dedicated water bottle. That's the key needs for the tri-athletes during racing."
Electric hybrid bikes are also gaining popularity.
Equipped with battery-powered pedals, the hybrid bike has a torque sensor, measuring the pushing force on pedals and giving the power in proportion to the pedalling.
Simon Hsu of Merida, one of leading Taiwan bike makers, says the assisted pedal is useful for those who may need assistance in long-distance or uphill cycling.
"Recently the need for a mountain bicycle is that it has to be able to be used for down hill cycling in the woods, therefore it requires electrical energy to assist the rider when riding up the hill. It (electrical energy pack) also can be used for long distance riding. I think full suspension mountain bikes will gradually be equipped with electrical energy packs in the next two years. And this will become more and more popular. It has already become a trend in many European countries."
According to Taiwan Bicycle Association, last year Taiwan exported 80,000 hybrid bikes to Europe and America.
Hsu admits a steep price tag may have deterred some consumers but prices are dropping.
Merida's hybrid bike costs 120,000 New Taiwan Dollars (NTD) (approx. 3,600 USD) compared to 80,000 NTD (approx. 2,400 USD) for the price of the push bike of the same model.
But Hsu hopes that the price will drop once the battery and production costs are cheaper.
Need to put groceries on your bike or deliver goods around the city? Tern believes you don't need a car for that.
Tern's CargoNode bike can carry up to 22kg on each side and the main frame folds so it would fit in an elevator.
Wang Ai-ting, a manager at Tern, says this is an ultimate solution for city dwellers who need to lug around heavy items on their daily commutes or parents who need to transport not only themselves but their children and their belongings.
"Lots of our customers actually they are really interested about working with this bike with their distributing companies in their countries. That means no scooters anymore. No cars anymore. That means easy parking because actually maybe no parking. You can just bring the bike and lots of goods with you. You can enter into the building, the company, the place you need to deliver. This is the goal that we want to design a cargo bike that is suitable for the city people's life," says Wang.
Priced at 1,800 USD, Wang says Cargo Node is already on sale in Europe and America.

Bike Tech Overload | 2017 Taipei Cycle Show Day 2

Simon is back for Day 2 of the 2017 Taipei Cycle Show and he is overwhelmed with bike blin...

The Boeing 747-400 is a major development and the best-selling model of the Boeing 747 family of jet airliners. While retaining the four-engine wide-body layout of its predecessors, the 747-400 embodies numerous technological and structural changes to produce a more efficient airframe. Its most distinguishing features versus preceding 747 models are 6-foot (1.8 m) winglets mounted on 6-foot (1.8 m) wing tip extensions, which are found on all 747-400s except for Japanese domestic market versions.
The 747-400 is equipped with a two-crew glass cockpit, which dispenses with the need for a flight engineer, along with more fuel-efficient engines, an optional fuel tank in the horizontal stabilizer, and revised fuselage/wing fairings. The aircraft also features an all-new interior with upgraded in-flight entertainment architecture. As on the 747-300, passenger variants include a stretched upper deck as standard. The model has a maximum capacity of 660 passengers with the 747-400D variant, and can fly non-stop for up to 7,670 nautical miles (14,200 km) with maximum payload, depending on model.
Northwest Airlines first placed the 747-400 in commercial service in February 9, 1989. The 747-400 was produced in passenger (−400), freighter (−400F), combi (−400M), domestic (−400D), extended range passenger (−400ER) and extended range freighter (−400ERF) versions. The last 747−400, a -400ERF, was delivered in 2009. The 747-400 is the second-most recent version of the Boeing 747 family, having been superseded by the improved Boeing 747-8.
Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's exhaust so that it is directed forward, rather than backwards. Reverse thrust acts against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing distances. Such devices affect the aircraft significantly and are considered important for safe operations by airlines. There have been accidents involving thrust reversal systems.
Reverse thrust is also available on many propeller-driven aircraft through reversing the controllable-pitch propellers to a negative angle. The equivalent concept for a ship is called astern propulsion.
EVA Airways Corporation (pronounced "E-V-A Airways") is a Taiwanese international airline based at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport near Taipei, Taiwan, operating passenger and dedicated cargo services to over 40 international destinations in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. EVA Air is largely privately owned and flies a fully international route network. It is the second largest Taiwanese airline. EVA Air is headquartered in Luzhu, TaoyuanCity, Taiwan.
Since its founding in 1989 as an affiliate of shipping conglomerate Evergreen Group, EVA Air has expanded to include air cargo, airline catering, ground handling, and aviation engineering services. Its cargo arm, EVA Air Cargo, links with the Evergreen worldwide shipping network on sea and land. Its domestic and regional subsidiary, UNI Air, operates a medium and short-haul network to destinations in Taiwan, Macau and China with its main hub in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. As ofJanuary 2015, EVA Air is the 3rd safest airline in the world, with no hull losses, accidents, or fatalities since its establishment.
EVA Air operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, with Airbus A330, Boeing 747, Airbus A321, and Boeing 777 airliners primarily used on passenger routes, along with Boeing 747 freighters used on cargo routes. The airline was one of the first carriers to introduce the Premium Economy class (called Elite class in EVA Air), which it debuted in 1991. Elite class is onboard Boeing 777 and selected Boeing 747 aircraft.
